DOGS CONNECT PROGRAM 

After much excitement, we welcome Maple to our school tomorrow. On Monday, 25 July 2022, we held an induction session for students in every grade. 

During the induction session we reminded the students of the Three Expectations.

To their credit the students from K-6 remembered these extremely well. We discussed the importance of Maple learning how to relax here at school for her health and safety. The more she is able to relax the greater the opportunities for interaction with her.

She will be introduced to every class tomorrow and begin her work here at St John’s. Maple will commence two days a week to begin with and then her days will increase as she becomes more familiar with the community and the environment. We are looking forward to the benefits a well being dog will have on our students and the school community.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES

Another reminder that the Accessible Parking Spaces is only for those who have a parking permit for that space. There have been some parents and carers who have parked in these spaces during school dismissal. We would ask that these spots be left available for those members of the community who really need them. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. 

TERM 3 CLASS CAPTAINS

It is wonderful to be recognised for leadership qualities. We have had many students from years 1 - 6 recognised for such qualities by their peers and teachers. We will congratulate these children who have been selected as Class Captains for this term and look forward to providing opportunities in which they can demonstrate their leadership skills.

These students will be provided with their badge at Monday mornings assembly- 1 August 2022. We will inform parents via Compass before Friday who our Term 3 Class Captains are, so you might be available to grab a photo and see your child receive their badge.

We are confident that our student leaders will be great examples for others and demonstrate our Good Samaritan values.
